  1. Urgently trying to catch up with #grandma recordings for last week, I just heard of grandma being taken to about four flights around the #Alps, by her cousin Oskar #Hercher, who used to be a flight instructor in WW2. Once, they got into bad weather and almost hit the #EigerNordwand. Last minute, they found a hole to break through and ended up above the town #Chur, but again with the nicest weather. Let's see, what this week's record will bring!

  6. Belated #3GoodThings
    - received the marriage record of Wilhelm #Hercher wikitree.com/wiki/Hercher-27, which I had ordered three weeks ago. The right margin is full of side notes 😍
    - managed to stop working after 6.25 hours, which was a good compensation for the overtime of the last days and gave me some space
    - bathed #Gelbi and cuddled with him

  7. From the category of "just because we're not related at all, doesn't mean that you didn't play some tiny role in our family history and don't deserve a #WikiTree profile": Meet Hans #Britschkowski from #SeeheimJugenheim, to whom my great-great grandma and her son Emil #Hercher wrote a letter in 1947, because he was a comrade of their brother/son Wilhelm Hercher during #WW2 and he might have known something about Wilhelm's fate.

  8. Today's belated #grandma recordings had her talk about two relatives, that she had never met, but she kept hearing her family talk about them. I was able to track down both of them: Peter #Steurenthaler (wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthale ), a cousin of her father, who was musician (like his son, who was killed in WW1) and Rebekka #Hercher, who emigrated to the US as a nun in the 19th century (no profile so far, maybe during #January2025ConnectAThon )

  10. I just wanted to add the military career to the profile of Rudolf #Hercher wikitree.com/wiki/Hercher-28 , which I had on my #July2023ConnectAThon backlog. Then I looked at the inventory of postcards in great-grandma's album and I discovered, that he wrote at least two to her - in completely different handwriting, one using Sütterlin script, the other using plain Latin script. I guess I'll have to stick a little longer to the profile and upload scans and transcripts. #genealogy #WikiTree
